Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No display on main unitNo power or low batteries.Connect USB power or replace AAA batteries.
Remote sensor not connecting / Incorrect outdoor readingsSensor batteries low or dead; sensor out of range; interference.Replace AA batteries in sensor. Move sensor closer to main unit. Avoid obstacles. Press 'Resetting and sensor scanning' button (4) on main unit to re-scan.
Display shows 'LL.L' or 'HH.H'Temperature or humidity is outside the measurable range.This indicates the reading is below the minimum ('LL.L') or above the maximum ('HH.H') operating range. The device is functioning as expected under extreme conditions.
